I'm actually curious about this type of mentality. When it comes to discussing the topic of what's happening in Israel I take a neutral stance because essentially it's turned into a situation where both sides think they're the original inhabitants and the other are invaders. It's almost the spider man meme at this point, in that they all are native.

However my cousin (she's Jewish) who lives in Tel Aviv and works as a human rights lawyer has said there are increasingly radical takes by some ultra zionists who are almost borderline Jewish supremacists (that's how she puts it) that are calling to have Palestians either murdered or forcibly displaced to counties like Egypt or Jordan.

In my immediate family they think Israel should just kill everyone in the West Bank and Gaza and that almost made me vomit. My maternal grandma is a crypto Jew who's family fled Germany in the mid to late 1800s. When I did research into her family I found records of Jewish heritage (people in her family had the most stereotypical German Jewish names out there), but also found that she has no surviving family in mainland Europe. Her one third cousin who lives in Jerusalem actually survived being imprisoned in Dachau and her brother who lived in Poland died in Aushwitz. She said she had to wear the star of David in Dachau because "we" were Jews. Everyone in my family who were still in Germany and France either died in the Holocaust or survived and ended up in Israel.

For me saying that they should kill all of the Palestinians makes us no better than Hamas.

I got diagnosed with this in 2010 as a child and was told back then there was a significant chance I'd relapse either with Stills or Lupus and a small chance I'd develop leukemia or lymphoma.

Well after ruling our Lupus and AS because of increasingly worse joint pain and neurological symptoms, my new rheumatologist said it's Stills Disease and because it's systemic it can imitate MS.

I just started 15mg of methotrexate weekly as I didn't respond at all to prednisone and will probably be going on anakinra or Actemra but my doctor might try IVIG to reduce my need for prednisone and NSAIDs because this has attacked my kidneys that I've had blood in my urine since at least 2015.
